("Copper Giant" or the "Company") (TSXV: CGNT) (OTCQB: LBCMF) (FRA: 29H0) is pleased to announce assay results from drill holes MD-053, the first drill hole completed at the La Estrella target, and MD-054 located south of the Mocoa porphyry system at the south edge of the current Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") footprint where limits are still undefined. Mocoa is a Jurassic porphyry Cu-Mo deposit. Drilling to date has delineated continuous copper and molybdenum mineralization from surface to depth exceeding 1,000 vertical metres. With these results, the Company formally concludes its successful 2025 exploration program at Mocoa, having advanced key strategic objectives while continuing to operate two drill rigs at full capacity at its flagship Mocoa Cu-Mo porphyry project in Putumayo, Colombia. Holes MD-053 and MD-054 successfully intercepted copper and molybdenum mineralization from surface to the end of the hole. Both holes were strategically designed to drill test the south edge of the Mocoa deposit where limits are still unknown towards the La Estrella target.Hole MD-053, the first hole completed at the La Estrella target south of the Mocoa deposit, confirms that the same porphyry architecture recognized at Mocoa extends into this previously untested area.Hole MD-054 returned copper and molybdenum grades above the 2026 MRE¹ block model in an area previously modelled as waste due to sparse drilling by shallow, low-grade vertical holes (M12, M26 and M30), intercepting 61-metres grading 0.61% CuEq* (0.41% Cu and 0.04% Mo) within a broader interval of 253-metres grading 0.40% CuEq* (0.27% Cu and 0.03% Mo), starting at 367-metres downhole."The 2025 program delivered a major milestone for Mocoa, advancing the project beyond the one-billion-tonne resource mark through disciplined drilling and geological understanding. This outcome reflects both the scale of the system and the effectiveness of our exploration strategy. With these results, we close a highly successful exploration year and enter 2026 with a stronger geological model, clear growth vectors, and an aggressive drill strategy focused on conversion and expansion" – Edwin Naranjo Sierra, Vice-President of Exploration. Hole MD-053This hole was strategically designed to extend the geological model of the Mocoa porphyry system southward toward the La Estrella target. Drill hole MD-053 intersected copper and molybdenum mineralization from surface to the end of the hole within a recently identified, low-grade late-stage porphyry package (Figure 4A and 4B). Broad intervals returned average grades of approximately 300 to 1,500 ppm Cu and 30 to 55 ppm Mo from surface. While grades are lower than those typically reported within the current Mocoa resource area, the significance of MD-053 is geological rather than economic, as it confirms system continuity beyond the established deposit footprint toward the La Estrella target.

Grades are uncut. Mineralized zones at Mocoa are bulk porphyry-style zones and drilled widths are interpreted to be very close to true widths. Hole MD-054Drill hole MD-054 was designed to test the southern margin of the Mocoa MRE footprint in an area previously modelled as waste due to limited drilling by short vertical to sub-vertical holes (M12, M26 and M30) (Figure 3). MD-054 returned 61-metres grading 0.61% CuEq* (0.41% Cu and 0.04% Mo) within a broader interval of 253-metres grading 0.40% CuEq* (0.27% Cu and 0.03% Mo), starting at 367 metres downhole (Figure 4C and 4D). These results exceed the corresponding 2026 MRE1 bl
